Environment
Stormwater flooding is the primary environmental issue in Rosemont. Considerable construction is planned for the next decade to move stormwater so it doesn’t flood our neighborhoods and cause sewage back-ups in our basements.
These are big, long-term projects that will be noisy and disruptive. We are working to keep you informed about their impact and how they contribute to a more flood-resilient Alexandria.
